How does it work with multiple screens? Yes I have a MacBook Pro 17", but that's not the monitor that I'm using.

Yes this credit card is the right size of this monitor, now I'll just drag it over onto this monitor to get a better look...

This article is bizarre. Why is written in such a strange way? "your favorite Redmond techno-giant is sitting on a horse" What the fuck does that mean?

Also: woman was hit on, but she gets confused about which guy it was, or has the wrong name.

1 in 11 chance of being a millionaire? That must be far too high? Then there would be 31 million millionaires in the country, or about the population of California.

Edit: and then he says 1 in 120 of earning $400k or more... so that does that work with 1 in 11 being a millionaire?

I can't reply to Avenger42 as this thread has got too deep, but in response to him or her, you are supporting one unproven claim, by citing her, citing him, making another unproven claim. He could be lying. She could be lying. And if I didn't have access to the same blog post and you were telling me about it, you could by lying.

Moreover, she could be _mistaken_. Perhaps about the guy's name. He could also be _mistaken_, thinking she's talking about another guy, or getting names and faces mixed up.

Unless it involves a trial by jury, I don't think it's fair to ban people based on it.

Careful that she is making an accusation here, but it is not proven, and prior bad behaviour (that's also an unproven accusation) is not an indicator of present guilt.

I don't think we should ban people from conferences based on unproven accusations.

Always use base SI units, no matter what the locals do. Convert at the point of input and output.

In what sense in this real-time? Hard or soft real-time? What guarantees does it provide?
